HBO Go App Now With AirPlay

Typically, I will avoid services that either intentionally limit or don't take advantage of the capabilities of my iPad, which was the case with the HBO iPad App until just recently. HBO Go has been updated to version 2.0 in the app store and now includes support for AirPlay on devices running iOS 6 and Apple TVs running software update 5.1.1 or later.

If you have an iPad jailbreak in iOS 6, you may experience issues with the HBO Go or Time Warner Cable app where the App will have a pop-up blocking you from access. Typically, this 'block' is simply checking to see if there is an app called Cydia on your iPad. xCon is a jailbreak tweak that will bypass many of these restrictions with updates coming constantly.

xCon is a project aimed to be a one-stop solution to bypassing jailbreak detection in App Store Apps. xCon supports an extensive list of applications, and while some are not yet supported, the project is constantly being worked on to add support for more and more applications all the time.However, don’t get too excited just yet. Although the tweak is pretty useful, it is by no means universal. As of now, the tweak only supports a few apps, all of which are listed.
